Cambridge 1 Restaurant Review

Cambridge 1 Restaurant Review – This sleek, uber-modern industrial restaurant gives pizza the fine dining treatment. Cambridge 1 features charcoal-grilled pizzas with spectacular gourmet toppings like truffled mashed potatoes, Maine lobster and grilled steak. These designer pies feature thin crunchy crusts and only the freshest herbs, vegetables and spices. Located at the former site of Cambridge’s first firehouse (Cambridge 1 was the horse-drawn pump), this hip dining room is minimalist in design. Stainless steel, concrete floors and exposed cinder block walls mix with cherry wood and black slate to create a bold urban setting. Choice seats in the rear offer views of the historic Old Burying Ground near the Cambridge Common. Also minimalist is the superbly focused menu which has only 13 pizzas and five salads. Excellent salad choices include the bibb lettuce with grape tomatoes, cilantro and gorgonzola; and the arugula with shaved parmigiano, virgin olive oil and bresaola. For an incredible pizza main course, try the Maine lobster with corn, scallion and lemon butter; or the grilled steak and cherry tomatoes. Also popular is the potato with fontina, rosemary and garlic. Top the meal off with a scoop of Toscanini’s heavenly tiramisu ice cream. For sophisticated pizza lovers with discriminating palates, there’s no better place than Cambridge 1.
Cambridge 1, Harvard Square, 27 Church Street, Cambridge, 617-576-1111.
